Most of us think we're good at reading people — until something hits a nerve. Here's the quiet truth: you already know the truth about the person you're trying to figure out. You've just decided to believe the promise instead of the pattern. In this episode, I break down the difference between a pattern (what's already happened, more than once, without you asking) and a promise (what only lives in words) — and why reasonable, thoughtful people are the ones who stay the longest. It's not a romance problem. It's the same move in love, in friendship, and in business. I tell you the true stories that taught me this the hard way — including the fraudulent buyer we gave grace to for months while she quietly took everything, and why we let it happen: we weren't believing her, we were believing the sale. A promise gets its power not from the person making it, but from how badly you want it to be true. If you caught Episode 99, this is its companion — that one was about the conversations you replay; this one is about the promises you keep believing anyway.

Have you ever found yourself saying, "I'm fine," even though you know you're exhausted? Maybe you've been living with bloating, poor sleep, low energy, headaches or digestive discomfort for so long that it has simply become your normal. You know something feels different, but life is busy, there are people depending on you, and there's always something else that seems more important. In Episode 458, we explored how Ayurveda views symptoms as messages from the body rather than problems to simply suppress. In this episode, we take the conversation a step further and explore why we so often ignore those messages in the first place. We've become fluent in the language of productivity, achievement and pushing through, but many of us have lost our fluency in the language of the body. We learn to override tiredness, rush through meals, ignore digestive discomfort and tell ourselves that poor sleep is "just stress" or that feeling exhausted is simply part of getting older. Colette shares some of the patterns she has observed through her work with clients, including how easily we can adapt to feeling less well and gradually lower our expectations of what it means to feel healthy and balanced. In this episode, we'll explore: Why we become accustomed to ignoring the body's early signals The psychology behind saying "I'm fine" when we're actually exhausted How modern life encourages us to push through and prioritise productivity Why symptoms can gradually become so normal that we stop questioning them The connection between youthful vitality and our ability to compensate for imbalance Why some of the habits we tolerated when we were younger may affect us differently as we age How Ayurveda encourages curiosity rather than judgement Why awareness is the first step towards meaningful change How to become more fluent in the language of your own body A simple daily question you can use to begin listening more closely   Join the Autumn Digestive Reset Cleanse If you're ready to support your body through this seasonal transition, my Discounted Group Digestive Reset Cleanse begins October 9th.

David Sirota joins Taya Graham and Stephen Janis to expose the enormous financial incentives shaping Democratic politics and why political consultants can accumulate “generational wealth” even when their candidates lose. David Sirota explains how consultants profit from massive television-ad purchases, how billionaire-funded super PACs influence the candidates and policies voters are offered, and how the language of “moderation” and “electability” is used to undermine progressive and populist challengers.We examine the consequences of legalized political corruption: Washington's silence on America's healthcare crisis, the widening gulf between voters and their representatives, and the 50-year campaign to transform elections into auctions while concentrating power in the presidency.David Sirota is the founder of the investigative news organization The Lever, a former speechwriter for Bernie Sanders, an Oscar-nominated co-creator of the story for the movie Don't Look Up, and the producer of the podcast series Master Plan.Additional links/info:David Sirota and Jared Jacang Maher co-authored book, Master Plan: The Hidden Plot to Legalize Corruption in AmericaThe Lever's website, Instagram, and podcast series, Master planCredits:Production: Stephen Janis, Taya GrahamWritten by: Stephen JanisStudio Production: Cameron GranadinoPost-Production: Stephen Janis, David HebdenBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

In today's extra episode, I talk with Warren Smith about some news items that are slightly (even significantly) outside of our normal charity and philanthropy “beat.” They include:   John MacArthur's replacement has been named.  WORLD and other news outlets are reporting that “Grace Community Church in California affirmed a new senior pastor, more than a year after the death of renowned theologian John MacArthur. World Compassion Terry Law Ministries has a new name. Another sports gambling tragedy. It's an epidemic that churches and ministries have largely ignored, as our own Makella Knowles reported here.

On Hidden Killers Live, ex-FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer takes on two cases in one sitting with Tony Brueski. First the Lindsay Clancy trial, where the prosecution's rebuttal psychiatrist carried her description of the voice into the record. Then the Nolan Wells investigation, where the DA's grand jury promise doesn't cover the one device the case turns on.Clancy's defense rested August 21, 2026, on Dr. Phillip Resnick, the psychiatrist from the Andrea Yates acquittal. He told jurors she was psychotic and following a command voice. Dr. Avram Mack, called by prosecutors, said she knew her actions were wrong and also said she described a laughing male voice to him and told him she doesn't want to be alive.Coffindaffer argues guilt and Tony argues the record. The psychiatrist session on January 23, 2023. Testing for the Commonwealth that showed no faking. The paralysis and the suicide watch. A chaplain who heard about the voice in January 2023, three years ahead of the lawsuit. A McLean discharge nineteen days before the deaths. Mack at three years versus Resnick at four months.Then Mississippi. Nolan Wells' phone has been with his family since the first days after he died on Horn Island, and seven weeks later nobody has examined it. Both sides agreed to a joint exam on July 15 and never booked it. The DA's 48-hour demand came next; the family's four-day offer came after. The sheriff said no foul play before the autopsy and never asked for the phone. The friends deny tampering.Clancy has entered a not guilty plea claiming no criminal responsibility; no one is charged in Nolan's death. The chat votes on both: is this strategy, or is the state afraid of what its own evidence says?Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

On today's Fan Mail Friday, I'm talking about biblical submission, discernment, and the difference between preference and principle.

Is gentle parenting biblical, or has the conversation gone too far? Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar begin by distinguishing the helpful aspects of gentle parenting, such as patience, empathy, and respectful communication, from philosophies that conflict with Scripture. They discuss the growing cultural resistance to discipline, the importance of parental self-control, and why biblical correction should never be motivated by anger. Instead, loving discipline is presented as an intentional act that teaches children respect, obedience, and wisdom and points them toward the Lord.The conversation then examines the worldview behind many modern parenting philosophies. The guys explain that while children should be treated with dignity and compassion, parenting must also acknowledge the biblical reality of humanity's sinful nature. Ignoring or excusing sindoes not prepare children for life or for their need for the gospel. They discuss the importance of setting boundaries early, consistently training children from a young age, and remembering that discipline is not limited to a single method but should always seek the child's good. Throughout the discussion, they emphasize that correction should be rooted in love, never in frustration or personal anger.From there, the guys explore how modern parenting often elevates feelings over truth and downplays the importance of obedience. They clarify the difference between understanding a child's struggles and excusing sinful behavior, encouraging parents to lovingly address the heart behind their children's actions rather than simply managing outward behavior. Consistency, follow-through, and thoughtful correction help children understand both authority and security. Rather than seeking to be popular parents, Christians are called to faithfully shepherd their children with compassion and conviction, preparing them to honor God throughout their lives.Finally, the conversation returns to the biblical foundation for discipline, reminding listeners that God's loving correction of His children provides the model for Christian parenting. The guys encourage parents to saturate themselves in Scripture rather than in cultural trends, to studyeach of their children carefully, and to remember that every act of discipline should ultimately point them toward Christ. Love without truth leaves children vulnerable, while truth without love misrepresents the heart of God. Biblical parenting holds both together, raising children with grace, wisdom, authority, and deep confidence in the Lord's goodness.Send us Fan MailThanks for listening!

Coaching Youth Hoops on Facebook: Search Groups for Coaching Youth Hoops. This week's topic came straight out of the group. Ask your question and if we see it come up more than once, we build a resource for it. Another question pulled from the Coaching Youth Hoops Facebook group: what is the biggest character lesson you are trying to teach your players this season? Coach Collins and Coach Bill make the case that the life lessons taught through sports matter more than the sport itself, and that the whole thing falls apart if you don't connect the dots for the kids. They cover failure as a teacher, being on time as a stand in for responsibility, leaving the gym better than you found it, getting along with teammates you would never choose as friends, and why a difficult coach can be one of the more useful things that happens to a young athlete. They also give coaches a practical season planning move: pick the three or four character lessons you intend to teach, then leave room for the ones the season hands you. Coach Collins is direct about it: one of the reasons he coached as long as he did is that the life lessons taught through sports are more important than the sport. That belief has to come first, because everything else in this episode follows from it. This is the phrase both coaches keep returning to. Kids do not automatically translate a tough practice, a benching, or a bad loss into a lesson about life. Somebody has to say it out loud and draw the line for them. Sports were built for character development, but the development only happens if the connection gets made. Coach Collins uses his own son. He wanted to play college basketball, tried out more than once, came close, and did not make it. He almost certainly learned more from not making the team than he would have riding the bench on it. He went on to start a couple of businesses and travel abroad instead. Coach Collins adds his own first business failed badly and taught him plenty. Athletes rarely see this while it is happening. That is exactly why a coach or parent has to name it. If you are a parent listening and your kid has a coach who is hard to deal with, that is a life lesson sitting right in front of you. Your child will have teachers, bosses, and coworkers like that. The move is to walk them through how to handle it, not to pull them off the team and blame the coach. Abuse is a different conversation entirely, and that line does not move. Kids who miss the game winning shot carry the whole loss home with them. Point out the ten missed layups earlier in the game that would have put the team out of reach. Nobody loses a game by themselves and nobody wins one by themselves. It was Coach Collins's pet peeve, but the actual lesson was responsibility. Waking yourself up. Managing your own schedule. Being someone the group can count on. Older athletes can carry the full weight of that one. Younger kids get a scaled down version. Coach Collins points to the World Cup and the Japanese teams cleaning their locker rooms after matches. That lesson works at any age and any level. Pick up the Gatorade bottles. Pick up the towels. Coach Bill does it with grade school kids and cleans the bench even when the trash was there before they arrived. When a player says "it's not mine," the answer is that it does not matter. Coach Collins walks his dogs through the park, sees a piece of trash, picks it up, and finds a can. Same principle, no scoreboard attached. Coach Collins tells his players straight: you are going to work with people you do not like, that is the world. Not everyone he worked with was a friend and some he did not care for much at all, but he still had to be part of a team. And there are surely people who feel the same way about him. That is fine. You still have to get along on the court, because you are going to have to get along in life. Coach Bill's season planning approach has two halves. First, decide what is in the box before the season starts. How to win. How to lose. How to work with others. How to talk to an adult. Ignoring the refs. Pick three or four and commit to them. Second, be ready for the ones you did not plan. Something will happen on the team that hands you a character lesson you never scheduled. Anticipate that it is coming so you are prepared to use it instead of letting it pass. Coach Bill lays out for parents up front what he is going to teach and what he believes in. Knock on wood, nobody has ever come back with "we don't believe in being nice to people." Saying it out loud costs you nothing and buys you support all season. And on the objection that character is not a coach's place: yes it is. It takes a village, and you are in the village. Write down the three or four character lessons you want your team to leave with this season. Put them somewhere you will see them weekly. Add one line to your practice plan template for the life lesson attached to that practice. Send parents a short note before the season describing what you plan to teach beyond basketball. Build the cleanup habit in from day one. Bench, floor, bottles, towels, every practice and every game. The next time something hard happens on your team, a loss, a conflict, a benching, stop and connect the dot out loud instead of letting the moment pass. Talk to your players about failure before they fail, so they have a frame ready when it happens. "The life lessons that can be taught through sports are more important than the sports."

Many veterans normalize chronic pain, sleep problems, anxiety, respiratory symptoms, and emotional stress long before they ever seek medical care.We break down: Why veterans commonly delay treatment  The military mindset of “just deal with it”  How chronic conditions evolve over time  Why delayed treatment does not automatically mean a condition is unrelated to service  The long-term impact of untreated orthopedic injuries  Chronic pain and secondary mental health conditions  Toxic exposure symptoms that may appear years later  Hypervigilance, insomnia, and emotional burnout  The importance of medical chronology and evidence in VA disability claims  How untreated conditions can contribute to secondary complications over time We also discuss how military culture, operational demands, stigma, and fear of career consequences often influence treatment behavior in veteran populations.Topics Covered Veterans delaying treatment  Ignoring symptoms after service  VA disability claims  Chronic pain in veterans  Mental health after military service  PTSD symptoms  Hypervigilance and insomnia  Toxic exposure symptoms  Burn pit exposure  Secondary VA claims  Delayed diagnosis VA claims  Medical evidence for VA claims  Veteran disability appeals  Chronic orthopedic injuries  Independent medical opinions About the PodcastThe Veterans Disability Nexus Podcast discusses VA disability medical evidence, nexus letters, DBQs, and the intersection of medicine and veterans disability claims.

Ben Wikler, the former Wisconsin Democratic Party chair and author of the new book This Is the Plan joins the Chuck Toddcast to argue that Democrats keep making the same category error: they keep winning change elections and then failing to deliver change, because they're trying to fix policy without first fixing the system that determines who gets to make policy. Wikler's framing is memorable and a little cheeky — you have to win the ring of power and then cast it into Mount Doom — but his point is serious. When the right wins power, it immediately restructures the system to entrench itself; Democrats win and then govern as though the rules are fixed. His plan runs through the state level, where free and fair elections are actually secured, and demands ending the filibuster and reforming the Supreme Court, including term limits for justices, because campaign finance reform is impossible without a Court willing to allow it. Wikler argues America is in the greatest period of political instability in its history, that inequality now exceeds the Gilded Age, that gerrymandering has left millions of people without a meaningful vote, and that both party bases increasingly want to fight more than they want to win — while swing and non-voters have simply given up on the system itself. He rejects the tired rebuilders-versus-renovators binary: FDR's Social Security pitch was a huge swing, incrementalism was the only path to Obamacare, and the actual art of politics is starting from values and vision and then figuring out what can pass. The conversation gets specific about Wisconsin and about trust. Wikler pushes back on the idea that Francesca Hong is too "Madison" for a statewide race, notes she's spent years traveling and listening across the state, and calls Tom Tiffany an election denier who is genuinely beatable in a cycle where affordability is the central issue. He and Chuck work through the puzzle of why Tony Evers' calm, steady approach succeeded where Biden's didn't — Evers came out forcefully against Dobbs, and, more fundamentally, you have to convince a majority of voters that government can actually work, which means doing what you said you'd do and then relentlessly telling people you did it. Wikler points to pandemic relief as the cautionary tale: those programs dramatically improved life for lower-income voters, the child tax credit cut child poverty in half, and then it all expired and Democrats got punished for the loss rather than credited for the gain — with an extension that had bipartisan support dying anyway, because the filibuster exists largely to deprive the other side of a win. He credits Ken Martin for investing in state parties, argues Democrats don't need a 50-state strategy so much as fifty different state strategies since the coalition looks different everywhere, and concedes that Trump has been the most successful Republican of this era, spawning an army of mini-mes modeling themselves on him. And yes, Chuck asks the obvious question — why not run for Senate yourself? Thanks to the sponsors of The Chuck ToddCast: Upgrade your everyday.

Chuck Todd unpacks David Crowley's astonishing photo-finish win over Francesca Hong in Wisconsin — a race Crowley dropped out of, re-entered with Tony Evers' backing, and then won by roughly 3,200 votes — and argues national Democrats are far more relieved than they'll ever admit. Had Hong won, she'd have become a face of the party while being forced to spend the fall answering for past statements about defunding police, abolishing prisons, and canceling Thanksgiving rather than talking about the economy, handing Republicans an absurdly easy story to tell. Chuck credits Tony Evers for refusing to fence-sit and mounting what amounted to an emergency rescue operation, while noting Crowley isn't remotely "establishment" — he came from genuinely modest roots and ran a campaign largely defined by what he wasn't. Chuck identifies Hong's central unforced error as nationalizing her race in the closing weeks, a fundraising-driven instinct in an era where media appearances increasingly function as fundraising appeals, forgetting that the national online audience and the local electorate are not the same people. Mamdani stayed disciplined and won; Hong drifted into boutique cultural debates and lost. But Chuck cautions against reading this as a repudiation of the left: Peggy Flanagan won in Minnesota, progressives are doing better this cycle than they have in years, and the 2027 House will be younger and slightly further left. The real structural lesson is that progressives struggle in higher-turnout and open primaries, still face a persistent obstacle with African American primary voters, and — most tellingly — keep getting rejected by the working-class voters they orient their entire message toward, which is more than a messaging glitch. Abdul El-Sayed emerges a quiet winner here, now much harder to lump in with the DSA, and Chuck notes that neither AOC nor Bernie ever endorsed Hong. The rest of the monologue is a run of results that keep pointing the same direction. Trump-endorsed candidates keep losing primaries: Mike Lindell was trounced in Minnesota, Darline Graham didn't clear a third of the vote and is no lock in her runoff, and Chuck's read is that Trump's grip is measurably slipping. Fourteen-term Congressman John Larson lost his primary, part of the highest incumbent-loss rate since 1970 — in a genuine wave, Chuck says, the House could see north of 25% turnover. On Iran, he echoes Chris Christie's warning that this war turns Trump into Jimmy Carter: Iran has issued a list of demands that amounts to an "F you" ransom note, is openly watching the American election calendar and timing its moves accordingly, and — just as in 1980 — the humiliation itself is the point. All of it, Chuck notes, was Trump's own choice. He closes somewhere unexpected: giving Mark Zuckerberg genuine credit. In his 6,500-word manifesto, Zuckerberg argued that the real danger of AI is the concentration of power, writing that hoping an absolute power will benevolently provide for humanity has historically never ended well — and committing Meta to a review process before models go public. Chuck notes the argument is being made by a deeply self-interested party and that the important parts got buried in what was really a debate with Sam Altman, but he singles out one thing worth emulating: Meta funneling data center tax revenue back into teacher bonuses and job training. Communities hosting this infrastructure have to win too, and he hopes more tech CEOs adopt that philosophy. Then, Ben Wikler, the former Wisconsin Democratic Party chair and author of the new book This Is the Plan joins the Chuck Toddcast to argue that Democrats keep making the same category error: they keep winning change elections and then failing to deliver change, because they're trying to fix policy without first fixing the system that determines who gets to make policy.

Episode Title: "AA Works 100% of the Time"Hosts: Mike & GlennThe Data Dilemma: Does AA Actually Work?Hosts Mike and Glenn open the episode by tackling a common question: What percentage of people who go to Alcoholics Anonymous actually get sober?They agree that because AA is an anonymous program lacking a formal structure for surveys or data collection, any statistic cited out there is essentially made up. There is no comprehensive, quantitative data set—only snippets.However, the hosts argue that while the program's overall statistics are impossible to track, the success rate for an individual who completely commits is absolute: When you surrender to the program, get a sponsor, take directives to heart, and stay active, AA works 100% of the time.The "Secret Sauce" and Page 58The hosts ground their argument in Page 58 of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, which famously states:“Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path.”When people follow the program and still relapse, Glenn suggests there is a "disconnect"—much like an ignored warning light in a car. Ignoring a low tire pressure light eventually leads to a blowout and a crash; in recovery, dishonesty is that warning light. Those who fail are usually those who cannot or will not completely give themselves to the program.Exceptions: The Big Book notes exceptions for those with severe mental health issues. However, the hosts point out that diagnoses made while actively drinking can be skewed, and many ills are solved simply through abstinence and a competent recovery program.Host Spotlight: Personal JourneysGlenn's Story (The 10% Phase): Initially, Glenn tried doing AA his way, which resulted in a 10% success rate. He was a "yo-yo," letting his ego and judgment keep him from truly connecting. When he finally surrendered—listening to others' pain and finding similarities instead of differences—the program began to work.Mike's Story (The Deep End): Mike found success by completely surrendering his own will from day one. He "drank the Kool-Aid," jumped into the deep end, and embraced rigorous honesty, selfless behavior, and service. By letting others count on him, he achieved 100% sobriety.Perception vs. RealityCelebrity Relapses: The hosts note that when a celebrity endorses AA and later relapses or dies, the world views it as an "AA failure." In reality, it is an individual failure resulting from taking one's will back or stopping being honest.The Gym Membership Analogy: Saying AA doesn't work without doing the work is like buying a gym membership, never working out, and blaming the gym for you not getting fit.Dealing with "Bad Apples": There may be people with bad intentions in the rooms, but meeting attendance shouldn't be based on how you feel about others. The focus must remain on personal recovery and service.Glenn's Three Pillars of ProofGlenn summarizes his belief in AA's foolproof nature with three points:Total Surrender: If you surrender 100%, it works 100%.Living Proof: He sees it work 100% of the time for the hundreds of successful, active people he "does life" with.The Promise: He adheres strictly to the Big Book's promise that those who thoroughly follow the path rarely fail.Closing Thoughts & DisclaimerThe hosts acknowledge that AA is not the only path—other solutions include alternative recovery programs, counseling, and church. For the "sober curious," they recommend giving AA a try for 90 days or a year.Special Medical Note: The medication Antabuse is briefly mentioned in this episode. Listeners are strongly advised to seek professional medical advice before taking any medications.Conclusion: People may claim AA doesn't work, but for Mike, Glenn, and the hundreds of active, accountable, and service-minded people around them, it is working 100% of the time.

We all have needs…but somewhere along the way, many of us learned to feel uncomfortable having them. Maybe you became the strong one, the easy one, the helper, or the person who didn't ask for much. You may have learned to put everyone else first, minimize what you needed, or believe that asking for support meant you were needy or selfish. But our needs are part of being human and pretending we don't have them doesn't make them disappear. In this episode we're talking about what it really means to honor your needs without guilt or apology. We'll look at why receiving help can sometimes feel harder than giving it, why taking up space isn't the same as taking over, and what can happen when we continually push our own needs aside. Most importantly, we'll explore what begins to change when you stop treating your needs like an inconvenience—and start living like you matter, too.   Ignoring your needs doesn't make you selfless. When needs aren't met in healthy ways,  they often come out in ways we never intended.     Get your FREE Boundaries Ebook here!

Episode 5581: Fauci Urged Women To Get Covid Vaccine While Ignoring The Risks

In 1 Samuel 2:12–36, we see the devastating consequences of ignored sin, compromised leadership, and refusing to confront what God has made clear.  What does the Bible say about confronting sin? When does keeping the peace become compromise? How should Christians respond to sin in their families and churches? And what happens when spiritual leaders lack accountability? Whether you're studying 1 Samuel, wrestling with a difficult relationship, navigating church leadership, or trying to understand the difference between biblical grace and avoiding confrontation, this message offers a challenging reminder: what we refuse to address doesn't simply disappear.

Silence can quietly dismantle your confidence, health, and most valued relationships without you even realizing it.In this episode, you will uncover the hidden ways erectile dysfunction acts as a critical alarm for your entire body, stripping away far more than just your performance.

Fortunately, understanding the root cause gives you the exact blueprint needed to regain control and restore your natural function.Listen now to discover what is being taken from you and how to claim it back today.--------------Key TakeawaysErectile dysfunction serves as an early check engine light for your cardiovascular and hormone systems.Untreated erectile dysfunction slowly creates distance, miscommunication, and lost intimacy in long-term relationships.Ignoring physical symptoms erodes your self-worth and confidence both inside and outside the bedroom.Performance anxiety creates a mental prison that reinforces the physical cycle of dysfunction.Early vascular warning signs can predict underlying heart disease up to five years before major events occur.Relying on temporary pills acts as a temporary lease rather than a permanent health solution.Tissue damage and scarring progress over time when underlying blood flow issues remain unaddressed.Comprehensive recovery requires a structured medical system rather than random remedies or supplements.Investing in your sexual health protects your long-term vitality, relationship quality, and overall well-being.Restoring natural function relieves daily mental burden and helps you regain your full sense of self.--------------Resources mentioned:Modern Man CribMediterranean DietGood Morning Wood SmoothieRenew with Dr. Anne--------------Curious about how you can boost your bedroom game and build lasting confidence?

How Do You Hit 4000 Episodes Without Losing Your Mind?Today I'm talking with Glenn Hebert and Jamie Jennings from Horses in the Morning, the flagship show of the Horse Radio Network. They just crossed 4000 episodes, and since they're doing this daily, I had a ton of questions for them. Mainly: how do you keep your sanity?Glenn has been on this show more times than any other guest, and I'll drop links to a few of those past conversations below. We also talk about how "Glenn the Geek" became a verb around here. I cut in a few times throughout the episode to riff on some of what we discussed, so stick around for that too.Key TakeawaysSegments (not just guests) are what let a daily or frequent show survive without constantly reinventing the wheel.A real community needs a place to talk to each other, not just a place to listen to you.Feedback from your most invested listeners (not just anyone) should shape what you keep and what you cut.You're making the show for the 80% who like it, not the 20% who don't.If you're trying to make money at this, budget 10-12 hours of work for every hour that airs.How Glenn and Jamie Keep Finding Something to Talk AboutJamie's husband asked her, before episode one, what she was even going to talk about after two weeks of a horse podcast. Sixteen years and 4000 episodes later, that question still makes her laugh. Glenn books guests only a week or two out, and most of the show's four or five segments per episode get planned the morning of. Being daily is actually their advantage: they can be timely in a way most podcasts can't.Glenn admitted he basically is the show-prep service. Google Alerts and AI help him find stories faster than they used to, but the instinct for what's worth talking about still comes down to two to three hours of prep every single morning.Segments Give You Somewhere to Put Your EnergyJamie is the storyteller. Glenn plays the guy reacting to it. He described their pre-show routine: Jamie says she's got a two-to-five-minute story, and he already knows it's going to stretch to twenty minutes and he'll happily let it. That contrast, he said, is what makes the show work.I've got segments on this show too (if you've got a favorite segment idea, feel free to send it in). One of mine is built entirely out of "this happened because I have a podcast." I used to do a "last five in five" segment where I'd share the last five things I listened to in under five minutes. Segments are useful because they don't all have to show up in every episode. When I don't have a big topic, I create a "podcast stew," a handful of small segments squeezed together. Takes the pressure off having to fill a big block of time. An episode just needs to be as long as it needs to be, and not a minute more.Building a Community That Actually Talks to Each OtherGlenn says their community basically built itself once Patreon entered the picture around nine or ten years ago. One of their own listeners asked if she could start a private Facebook group for supporters, and it's grown into 30+ subgroups on everything from dogs to mental health, plus in-person meetups they run themselves.Glenn's take, and I completely agree: the biggest mistake podcasters make when they say they want "community" is giving people no actual place to talk to each other. A community needs a room. You don't have a true community until they can talk to each other.They get supporters directly involved too, birthdays shouted out on air, segment material submitted by listeners themselves. If your audience made the content, you already know they're going to like it.Sponsors Who Become Part of the FamilyJamie and Glenn have given away more than $80,000 in prizes over 16 years, largely funded by sponsors who get a bit of airtime in exchange for product. Those relationships often graduate into full paid sponsorships once the brand sees it works.That reminded me of Mark from Beyond Bourbon Street, a past guest of mine (episode 829) who had Two Chicks Walking Tours as a sponsor, then had listeners telling him in his own community that they'd taken the tour and loved it. That's the kind of proof that makes a sponsorship renewal conversation easy. And speaking of sponsors sticking around, I was listening to The New Media Show recently and they mentioned Todd Cochran had GoDaddy as a sponsor for around 21 years.The Focus Group Most Podcasts Never Bother WithThis one floored me. On top of their broader Patreon community, Glenn and Jamie run a rotating focus group of 12 listeners every six months whose entire job is to comment on every single episode. Every episode gets six to twelve honest responses.That feedback has actually killed segments. They ran an "animal psychics" bit for a while that they personally enjoyed, but the negative response outweighed the positive, so it's gone. If you're going to ask your paying supporters for their opinion, you have to actually be willing to act on it.Handling the People Who Don't Like YouGlenn's rule, learned from ten years running an improv theater company: about 80% of any audience likes what you do, and 20% doesn't. That ratio doesn't change. You're not making the show for the 20%. You're making it for the 80%, and Glenn pointed out the harder truth: a chunk of that 20% keeps listening anyway, seemingly just to be annoyed. Let it go.Jamie added that after the true fans and the negative Nellies, there's a middle group whose feedback is the most useful because it's the most honest.The Most Popular Segment Isn't the GuestsRight before hitting 4000 episodes, they surveyed listeners on favorite segments. The winner, by a wide margin: pure host banter, just Glenn and Jamie talking about nothing. Their biggest listener complaint over the years has actually been "too many guests." As Glenn put it, people come for the content and stay for the hosts.What It Takes to Actually Make Money Doing ThisGlenn's advice for a new podcaster wondering when the money shows up: niches make it easier. Horse people, in his words, are some of the most dedicated hobbyists out there, and that's true of plenty of other niches too (cycling, golf, you name it). Small and mid-sized brands without their own ad agencies are the sweet spot, and Glenn's found 80% of his sponsors by showing up in person at trade shows and introducing himself at every booth. He's been to 38 of them.Their own listener survey backs this up: 80% of listeners said they'd bought a product because Glenn and Jamie talked about it on air in the last year. Only 25% said the same about a banner ad. Trust is the entire business model.Doing the Show Sick, and Other Real-Talk MomentsWhen you're sick, you address it up front. Ignoring it doesn't work, because that's all the listener will focus on anyway. Same goes for a loud remote recording location. Be real about it and people roll with it, sometimes they even prefer it.One detail that stuck with me: Jamie trains off-the-track thoroughbreds and has personally placed horses with listeners in 18 different states just by mentioning them on the show. That's community turned into real-world impact.My Takeaways After the InterviewA few things I wanted to add once the mic was off:Contact info matters more than you think. Always tell people how to reach you. For me that's schoolofpodcasting.com/contact. Someone recently told me they'd left a comment on my Substack and had no idea if I'd seen it, because I hadn't told them how I check for those.Where to find ideas, beyond hanging out with your audience the way Glenn does: Google Alerts will tell you anytime a topic (or your name) gets mentioned online. Answer the Public shows you what people are actually typing into search around a topic. Or just Google your topic and scroll down to "People Also Ask."On Podcast Movement: I wasn't selected to speak this year, which is the first time that's happened after speaking at every single one. Disappointing, sure, but I'll still be there to say hi, and I'll have more free time than usual. I am speaking at the Empowered Podcasting Conference in Charlotte, NC, and at PodIndy in November.Lesson...

⚖️ What happens when your ex refuses to follow the terms of your divorce judgment? A divorce decree isn't a suggestion—it's a court order. If your ex isn't complying with property division, support obligations, refinance requirements, or other court-ordered terms, there may be legal options available to enforce the judgment.

The Right is tearing itself apart over a $20 burrito, while regular Americans are still getting crushed by the cost of living. A college kid told Turning Point USA's Andrew Kolvet that a burrito shouldn't cost twenty bucks. That simple complaint set off a full-blown conservative civil war. Ben Shapiro said you're “doing life wrong” if you pay that much. Marc Thiessen told students to cry him a river. Then Vice President JD Vance jumped in with a fat joke about Thiessen never missing a burrito. Matt Walsh, Sean Davis, and half of conservative Twitter piled on. Meanwhile the actual prices of food, housing, and everything else never came back down after the Biden inflation spike. The rate slowed, but the high prices stuck. Voters handed Republicans the White House and Congress because they were sick of it. Now the same party is busy fighting a proxy war over Chipotle instead of delivering real relief. Tariffs, energy uncertainty, and endless internal drama aren't helping. The $20 burrito is just the symbol. The real problem is a party that won on affordability and is now distracted by the dumbest online food fight imaginable. Pat also covered: Day 55: Mitch McConnell is still missing after being released from rehab. $100 hot dogs are selling out in Miami … why? Trump signs new executive order cracking down on birth tourism. If El-Sayed is a uniter, why is he attacking second lady Usha Vance? Sharia law survivor speaks out against Islam — McKinney, Texas, ignores him. Does this burrito war make the GOP look completely out of touch with working families? Have you noticed basic things still costing way too much even with Republicans in charge?

The earth is burning, Britain is parched brown and rain is a distant memory. Yet the Tories are purging the last of their Net Zero advocates, the Greens seem to have lost interest in green policies, and Burnham's Labour are teetering on the edge of reopening oil and gas in the North Sea. Saving the planet is just so expensive! What will it take to get British politicians to take the climate emergency seriously?   Plus, will the real Kemi Badenoch please sit down? The current and quite possibly final leader of the Conservative Party stood by convicted neo-Nazi Joshua Bonehill-Paine as a local council candidate (he withdraws right in the middle of this recording). So how come the commentariat is convinced of the “Keminaissance”?  ESCAPE ROUTES: • Zoë has been reading Slags by Emma Jane Unsworth.  • Seth has been to Bayreuth for the Festival (hurry, it's still on). • Ros got a preview copy of Deep Into The Sixties: Britain 1965–66 by David Kynaston • Rachel has been reading Pagans by James Alistair Henry.

Patriot Front is a white nationalist group that focuses on high visibility stunts, like banner drops, disrupting events, or swarming Washington, DC for Independence Day. Meanwhile, the State Department has convened 60 nations against what it calls far-left terrorism. We talk to NPR's Odette Yousef about who the guys in Patriot Front actually are, why their finances resemble a pyramid scheme selling stickers and stencils, and what it means that the federal government is aiming its counterterrorism attention in a very different direction.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy
